Introduction

Nystøylhornet is the northernmost top on a peninsula defined by Syvdsfjorden, Hallefjorden,
Haugsfjorden and Vanylvsfjorden. Its characteristic top is easily recognized from great distance.
Although Nystøylhornet has a prominent appearance, it is among the lower Vanylven mountains.

This coastal peak is easily reached on path from Åram. There is no forest, no steep sections and
no difficulties. You'll enjoy the views, and perhaps recognize Gjegnen (Blånibba), Bukkenibba,
Ålfotbreen, Plogen, Saga, Keipen and Hornelen in Sogn og Fjordane, as well as Jønshornet, Saudehornet, Slogen,
Trollvasstinden, Felden and Klakken in Møre og Romsdal. The panorama is quite extensive.

The nearest larger city is Ålesund. From Ålesund, follow highway E39 towards Bergen,
and then RV61 towards Hareid. Take the Sulesund - Hareid ferry, and from the roundabout in Hareid, follow RV61
3Km to a roundabout outside Ulsteinvik. Proceed 5,4Km along RV61 and make a sharp right turn (Måløy/Fosnavåg).
Stay on RV61 2,9Km and turn left towards Måløy. Follow RV61 17,7Km to Larsnes. You can leave your car
at Larsnes, unless you want to have a look around in the Vanylven region.

From the church , head up to the road (60m) and turn right. Walk 90m and turn left when you see
the Nystøylhornet trailsign.
Follow the path up the Aksla ridge. The path passes an antenna
before turning southwest, towards Nystøylhornet. At 250m elevation, you get a better view up the mountain.

Ahead of you, the mountain ridge has a gap. You'll head into this gap before taking on the final ridge walk. You're in rocky terrain,
but the path runs on slick rock or grass. The path is (at best) vague up the final hill.
A proper cairn marks the top of Nystøylhornet.
